Who Won Last Night’s Debate? You Decide

SPENDING FREEZE = $300 BILLION additional tax dollars to buy bad loans.
McCain’s version of change apparently means changing the meaning of words?
Nice try “maverick”
OBAMA 2
McCain 0

Unlike Iraq, McCain should plan an exist strategy for this election.
Perhaps they can run Palin 2012. SNL could always use new material.
President Barack Obama!

This was McCain’s forum of choice and yet he still lost.
2:00 min left in 4th, down by 2 touchdowns, and McCain fumbles the ball.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

Hey John……I am not your friend!
I will not vote for “that” one.
Obama ’08

McCain is a cranky, angry old man. His scarcasm is a major turn off!
Obama/Biden

Wake up America! Obama talks a great line but there is no substance there. John McCain has the substance and experience and will lead us to a better future.

Obama won this debate. McCain looked literally unsteady on his feet. After a 26 year career of pushing DE-regulation, McCain has a very hard time sounding convincing as a defender of anyone but big business and their big lobbyists. His sudden and new found “concern” for the average home owner is not very impressive. No wonder he looks and sounds erratic, he is.

I think Obama won he answered questions directly where McCain just tried to bash Obama. He never answered one question without bashing him.

McCain won hands down, his experience shown through while obama looked to be reaching to counter or match him. Even though the so called “polls” say obama is ahead, he seemed to be the one that was acting anxious. This debate showed what his VP is on record as already saying “obama is not ready to be POTUS”.

McCain could not make a point or answer a question. He again made no connection, was cold, and did not carry any excitement. We don’t need to have a President who was a POW…what has that to do with education, healthcare, and the economy? We need some one like Obama who can make us feel good about our country and restore confidence. He spoke clear and took time to thing about what he was saying. Sorry “Proud American” I suggest you wake up…take that ribbion magnet off your car and support you country by actually acting and doing.

President Barack Obama

Obama won the debate. It is amazing for me to read the racist comments and believe that so many people are believing the smear campaign McCain/Palin are doing against Obama. Wasn’t it McCain who said he would never run a “dirty” campaign? Well, he is now desparate to get into the White House, and he and Palin are running the worst smear campaign. If the democrats acted like that the pundits would be jumping all over them, but why is it OK for the Republicans to do this? Is Carl Rove back in action? McCain has always been for big businesses, he deregulated everything that could possibly be deregulated, how he wants the average Americans to believe that he cares about us. I don’t think so, just like Bush doesn’t care about us, neither does McSame. Look at the news, there have been three instances where middle class Americans, have hurt themselves or their families due to the economic crisis. WE have lost the majority of our retirement funds, for those that are close to retirement, it is over for them and also for pensioners who depended on their 401(k) plans for monthly income are losing. Do you really think a man that owes 13 houses, 13 cars, is married to a billionaire heiress, and was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth can comprehend what we are feeling? I don’t think so, just like Bush he never had to think about making a payment. Look at the news yesterday, credit card companies are going to start “penalizes” people, will the politicians step in to stop that action, NO! Once again the middle class is getting the dirty end of the stick, and if you believe McCain will be there for you, you are sadly mistaken. Maybe you can afford to live another four years under the same policies, but a lot of other Americans can’t, so I say Go Obama/Biden!!!!!

Folks, experience is great, but character supercedes it everytime. Character gives you an overview of the whole person. Sen. McCain, poor taste lastnight in your constant referral to Sen. Obama as,”That One.” The man was born with a name, use it. I may not agree with you, but I will show you respect. Thanks for allowing your true character to shine through for us to see.
Sen.McCain thanks also for your service and contributions to this great country but to everything there is a season. Your season has ended. You can’t put new wine in old skins, they can’t handle it. Old dogs frown at learning new things. For the mess America is in, we need God to speak and a vessel who is willing to listen. Sen.Obama is that vessel.

The media should be ashamed of itself, trying to cause racial tensions with McCain’s ‘that one’ comment. I did not feel that he was insulting Obama. Report on the facts, quit trying to stir up problems. USA has enough to deal with right now. Let’s keep this election about two men and their visions for our future. Let America decide for themselves.

It appears, as usual, that most all of the major media are for Obama, and not one reference has been made to Obama’s comment in calling McCain “that man”. Instead it is all about McCain’s “that one”….Let’s stick to the real issues at hand and stop picking up on the petty comments.

Obama won and will keep winning but we will be the big loosers in the end. After reading these blogs for the last month or so I have come to the conclusion that it is the young voters that will be our demise in this election. It is obvious to me that the radical teachers and professors teaching their anti American rederic in our schools for the past 50 years have finally reached their goals of bringing down America. It’s not the young voters fault though it is ours for not being vigilant over the education of our children, it’s obvious.

Obama won hands down and would have done even better without time constraints. While Michelle was shaking hands with quests, the Ice Maiden stood there afraid to touch anyone. Obama extended his hand and McCain ignored it after the debate and Cindy finally shook it. And of course McCains running out of the hall as soon as the debate was over. I guess when you have $100 million, 13 cars and 8 homes, you just think you are too good for us common folks.

Open your eyes america!! John McCain won the debate! He is the only one that help America stay FREE!! Your messiah wants our children to learn spanish and to heck with them learning english, he wants to give his terrorist buddies the keys to our great land and let them have at us. I am an independent and I will vote to keep this great land free from all those that want to take us down.

Well said Kay

Grow up, Sandra. It’s people like you who turn people like me off of Obama. You complain about a remark McCain said while you act and speak the same way. I guess when your candidate doesn’t have anything to offer to America, you have to try to make the qualified candidate look bad any way that you can.
Thanks for helping me make my decision.
This proud American is voting for McCain.

McCain seemed to be repeating what he’d been told (and poorly at that) while Obama owned his answers.
Obama clinched it with his response listing Healthcare as a right that all americans have. What was healthcare to McCain? Again a non-answer answer.

Quite frankly, I don’t much care for either candidate. I care even less for these “dog and pony” shows which some like to call debates.
If these posts are an example of what people see when they watch this tripe, the populace is in a lot more trouble than the economy!

Americans have become sadly blinded to the fact that this one, Barrack Hussien Obama, will lead us down the path of a socialist nation. What this means is that the government will exist in every part of our lives. They will tell us what doctors to see, what schools our children will attend, how much money you can make, what church you and I can or can not attend. WAKE UP AMERICA, TAKE OFF THE BLINDERS.

James hit the nail on the head.

This proud Army wife is voting for John McCain. He has been there and obviously know how to get the job done! Experience is a HUGE factor for me, and I trust McCain more to be my husband’s commander in chief!

It wouldn’t have mattered if Mccain won, ABC would have chosen Obama. Very one sided journalism.

Obama represents fundamental change for our country. Enough of the old school politics that John McCain represents. How many times do we have to hear about Ronald Regan? I remember waiting in line for gasoline when he was in charge. It is abundantly clear John McCain has no vision for this county, thus the smear of hatred and fear tactics that has taken hold of his campaign. Ok, he’s a hero, I get it. But he is also pro war. HE doesn’t understand that the American people want this war to end NOW. He is so proud of the surge. If it worked so well, why are we still there?????

Barack Obama won by a landslide!!!! Our next PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!!!!!!

what happened to the best news show on television.I never watch any other,But I am suprised at Diane,robyn,chris. I thought you guys were supposed to be neutral, at least on the air. But this show is so Obama, I honestly thought that you were supposed to give both guys,the same ,good or bad.I have been voting for 41 years, and this is the worst campaign, I have ever,had to witness. This country should be ashamed of it’self, why is age,race, women, or anything else such an issue. We are supposed to be votingfor president, what happened.

No contest. Obama won. McLame lost more than the debate. He became an even angrier and more spiteful old man. He was condescending. He made comments that NO ONE in their right mind could possibly understand, and he became disrespectful to not only Obama but the audience, the viewers and Tom Brokaw. Every day he looks a little older and more broken. He repeatedly prefaced his comments with phrases such as “trust me friends” and “I know how to get things done.” Then, he went completely off subject and rambled. After the debate he barely acknowledged Obama or his wife and botox barbie McLame refused to shake their hands. That, “my friends” is rude and outrageous. Then, he and Cindy left the stage and the building while Obama and his wife remained and spoke with many of the audience members who remained. You can believe who you want but it is very simple to see which one is more presidential.

Kali: the only “Right” that you have is that of LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS!! Did’nt you learn that in school?

Those who are for Obama simply can’t understand the depth of what McCain is speaking. It’s really sad that Obama may win simply bc he looks good, speaks well, and ignorant people think he’s talking directly to them. Wake up! Even if he wanted to he doesn’t have the knowledge or experience to do much change, plus his record shows otherwise.
Thank you, Mandy. God bless every veteran, soldier, and America.

ONE NAME – OBAMA!!!!!!

John…said:
“Palin is ready to lead>” well lets’ hope she doesn’t get in after this weeks rallies. She is insighting people to do harm to Obama, in case no one noticed.

I didn’t watch because I don’t care whether the next President is a good debater or orator. All I know is that you can call Obama whatever you want: black, muslim, white, Christian, radical, liar, phony, etc. Bottom line:
OBAMA = LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC SPENDING
and neither the American people nor the economy can take any more taxes to fund his liberal spending!

ml…I hope you trust him like Bush…he will rob every penny you have.
Speaking of character the comment about ccalling Obama “that” was REALLY bad…

Anyone ever hear of jeremiah wright or bill ayers. These people hate America and they are obama’s friends. Wake up people. Do you know what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong il, and Raul Castro have in common? They all want obama for president. I wonder why???

Obama is “green” behind the ears. Both men were asked specially what would you do if Iran attacks Israel. John McCain made it perfectly clear the US would attack Iran and stand by Israel. Obama did not answer the question…he NEVER once said he would attack Iran…just words that we can never let another Holocaust happen and it should have never gotten this far…but NO ANSWER…he is not going to tell you where he stands—he is going to vote “present”. Obama is confident because he is spending WAY more money in advertising but I think the American people are not as stupid and influenced as Obama thinks.

Simon Bar Sinister lost.He looked like a bitter old man who wanted power,” my friends ” Oh and to close ” Mavrick “.
Ex Republican

Obama, how much will the fines be when we do not pay to have our children under government health care as I noticed we have NO CHOICE. You didn’t answer! America is a country of “choices” and “freedoms”, not government control.

What ??? Trust McCain ??? Please. He cautioned the worst mistake the US made since the Vietnam War. At which cost ? He is out of touch. With 7 houses and 11 cars, he will retreat peacefully whithout job loss, mortgage and dept he war part responsible for.
The Bush/Cheney/McCain lied to the american people during 8 years. They killed the US People for their own oil profit. Bill Ayers is an angel compared with Bush.

McCain is out of touch. I sat a listened for most of the debate, but by the end I was yelling at the TV. McCain doesn’t get it. We are in a crisis and I am voteing for change – “that one”.
Obama 08

Randy, health care is right and correct for all children but NOT the Obama way by “forcing” by law, fines for not doing everything that the government decides your child should take, shots, vaccines that might be experimental, indoctrination into government beliefs on sex and pregnancies, classes that teach the government view. The government will be removing YOUR ability to care for your kids—they will become in charge. That is what you want for your kids? Read the health care plan before you decide.

Everyone needs to realize, that God is in control of all of this, and you christians out there need to pray that God will put the right man in there. Read Revelations in the bible and you will know God says there will be 4 years of destruction, and then he will come and get the saved. Is it really Obama that you want? Pray about it, because our country is at stake.

I feel Obama won as well – and McCain and Palin are just sickening!

From a white middle age conservative male from Georgia, Obama/ Biden 2008-2016

rickey picolo, I pray you don’t have a vote, God is not going to save jobs and the economy….

james, on November 4th, go to church and pray, and let the adults vote, grow up….

To all you devout Right Wing Extremist that thought they would continue their devastating reign of the United States, the fear factor is out and your the ones on the receiving end this time. America in whole is awake now! They see the truth and not the lies and deception by the ultra conservative. This country is for everyone guaranteed by the Constitution and you are just a member like everyone else. Barack Obama is and will win this election. Thank God!

Obama is the one with Brains , Mc Cain & Palin are nothing but Mutt Slingers , Obama really caers abaut the Midde Class ,Obamai trust,Obama looks Presidential .Mc Cain looks despertan aut of Taugh, Mc Can lives in the Past , an this Country needs to look forward , i use to buy a loaf of Bread for 25cent , but this is now , Mc Cain schuld take his Wife Money An live happy ever after ,he just dont get at ,

james…you’re right, but who reads the Koran?

Chris,
Your rantings change nothing.
McCain is very very sick and will die in office if elected.
Spread the news even if the biased MSM refuses to report it because as McCain himself says they are his base..
A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR “HUMPTY DUMPTY” PALIN AS PRESIDENT.
Every voter must know this.
If I am saying this because I have sniffed some crack, then for once this crackpot is proud to be of service to the American voter.

Paul, I, will pray, and I will vote. I will pray especially for you because it seems that you are not mature enough to make a decision on your own. Its obviously that you need a government to tell you what to do and make decisions for you.

Did anyone else notice that McCain never switched hands with the microphone? It seemed like his arm was propped up with a brace – his jacket looked awfully taught in the back. This man’s health is a scary thing.

BOMB….take it easy buddy!! Obama isn’t a Muslum, haven’t you hear? BTW, I am a work paying taxes to support the troops. I hate war but I support those men and women who choose to serve. It is our administration who sends them in arms way when it is not necessary.
Also , my dad, my brother( who died in Vietnam) and my cousin who is in Iraq ARE serving.

young…maybe you should rethink. McCain was the one who said we can do it all. He said he didn’t have to prioritize anything…..YEEEEEEEEZzzzzzzz

you also forgot she is a racist. too funny..

“Who won… America LOST!” – hmn
Wiser words would be very hard to find.
WE are in deep deep doo doo.
Socialism. here we come.
[sarcasm]Whooo Hoooo![/sarcasm]

Ok people, so what’s worse some socialism values that reflects Jesus Christ teachings or a dictator ruling by oppression for power and wealth claiming in the name of God?
I guess I get it but others don’t.

At the risk of sounding simplistic, I think it is alarming how much of our country has been — and is continuing to be — bought up by foreign interests. I recently heard commentary/opinion of how our rejection of foreign management of our ports became a drastically negative catalyst in our current financial woes. And, of course, that’s only a nano-fraction of our vulnerable entanglement in the world’s financial web.
That vulnerability, along with so many other reasons, makes it imperative that whoever leads our country needs to have the utmost in intelligence, judgement and diplomacy with an exceptional grasp on the big global picture so that they can LEAD us proactively instead of reacting with what other countries seem to think is American inside-out-view arrogance.
I do not want our country to end up being owned and run by everyone else for any reason, and especially not because of any ignorant arrogance on our part and from being our own worst enemy.
I used to think McCain was honorable and courageous but the true colors he is showing now are opposite of that and are disappointing, embarrassing and ugly — and Palin would be the final nail in our coffin.
As for those of you attacking comments here about religion/God — what makes you right and those commenters wrong?

We need SERIOUS change in 08 for this country. Although John McCain’s military career is honorable, is voting w/Bush 90% of the time the EXPERIENCE we need? IS that REAL CHANGE? I don’t think so. Hasn’t Bush’s decisons caused a big part of where we are TODAY? Say NO to more of the SAME STAND UP for OUR COUNTRY. ITS TIME THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PUT THEIR FOOT DOWN AND SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WE WON’T ALLOW IT ANYMORE. Lets take back our government while we still can. We are going to have enough trouble digging out from the last 8yrs. Myself nor this Country can afford 4 more. And frankly in 4 more it maybe to late. Obama is an intelligent man, he has american dreams in his heart which will prevail. He has been in washington long enough to see the rights and wrongs. It doesn’t take 20+ yrs to see that. 20+ yrs gives you time to be in the pockets of all the folks that have helped run this country into the ground, when you should be A SOLDIER for the AMERICAN PEOPLE, not your own pockets and NOT for SPECIAL INTRESTS.
OBAMA/BIDEN IN 08′ THE FRESH NEW OUTLOOK FOR CHANGE WE NEED!

diane: Ever get lost on a highway and ask some one for directions and feel good about the new directions but end up getting more lost? Think about it!

Aside from the debates, because McCain has Sarah Palin as his VP, that is my major reason for NOT voting for McCain. The prospect of her possibly becoming president makes me ill. Had he picked anyone else (I don’t think he had a choice) I might vote differently. What really is disturbing is that some of the conservative rallies for Palin are like

Obama won hands down. McCain was repetitive and incomprehensible. He spoke round and round and frequently, was not making any sense. Looked like the same speech writer for Palin on the Couric interview was at it again….

What scared the heck out of me was that John McCain seems to be losing it physically. There were times last night as I watched him walk around, I was worried he was going to keel over right there on the stage. McCain time was 2000, but Bush ran over him with his attack dogs. If anything happens to John McCain, we’d have Sarah Palin as the candidate. Today, he called us his “fellow prisoners.” Like he’s having flashbacks or something. Senator McCain’s okay, but I’ve heard her talk and Governor Palin isn’t prepared to be president. The economy is on the line.
I’m voting Obama.

JOE SIX PACK AND JOE PLUMBER. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? IS G.I JOE NEXT TO BE ELECTED AS PRESIDENT? I MEAN COME ON, IS THIS A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE? OR A FLASH BACK DEBATE?
